New Magnolia Wedding Collection & Mini stamps

Hello and a wonderful Saturday. Wow.. thank you so much for all your lovely comments yesterday!! xxx :-) Today's card is rather simple. I followed a sketch that was given from my Magnolia-licous DT. I really used the sketch 1:1 as requested - i thought the more formal layout works nicely for a wedding card. I used a piece of paper that i got from Magnolia Sweden and since i had no settled matching Designer Paper i used my Cuttlebug folder to emboss a piece of Shimmery White SU cardstock.

Recipe:
Stamps: Magnolia Rubberstamps: New 2009 Wedding Collection, Papertrey Ink for Sentiment
Designer Paper: Imaginice, SU: Pink Pirouette, Going Grey, Shimmery White
Embellishments: Ribbon: Joann's, Dollar Store satin flower, pearl stickers for crown
Tools: Sewing Machine, Cuttlebug: Tiny Tags, Polka Dot embossing folder

This image was stamped and sent to me by my friend Jaqueline! If you like to have more sneak peeks of stamps check out her blog. She also has a very, very cute Tilda stamp holding a tulip in her hands!
Here is one more picture i can show you. I have received the tin on the right hand side from Magnolia with my DT package. It included some buttons so they do not get lost. I just got a few days before the mail arrived from Sweden 2 Mini Magnolia stamps from my friend Carole :-) yes yes i am being spoiled lol. And i thought ohhhh.. they just look so cute on top of the tin. So i just quickly colored the images in. Did a little decorating and a nice gift idea was quickly finished.
The wedding card and those tins should be by now in Sweden!


Don't forget about those wonderful blogs.. they have some awesome candy's up right now
Malin's fantastic blog candy!!! Happy 35 birthday sweetie!

Just Buzzin' By To Say Happy Mothers Day


To create the multi layered wings - i colored Tilda in like i have seen it on Carole's card . I than stamped the image multiple times onto Vellum and just cut the wings out and the part of the sleeve. Than i used a Zig glue pen and glued the Vellum together (part of sleeve). Once dried i folded the Vellum on the line of the wings up and glued it down to the main image. The wings on the main image are painted with Shimmerz paints in Pixie Dust.

This sentiment is created with the Computer! I thought i is sooo cute ;-) i have asked Helene from Alota Rubberstamps if she would be able to make this sentiment into a stamp... I hope she will.. If you are interested as well would you please sent her a email :-) info@alotarubberstamps.com
The inside is made up to match the front ot the card. I have used different Nestabilitie shapes. If you like all the very new ones take a look at 7kids!!! Tab just got a new delivery with all the new CHA releases in!
Coloring: all Copic markers and Neenah paper an be found at 7 kids college fund
This card is made for this weeks Friday Sketcher Challenge blog. Please take a look whatCarole,Bea,Heidi,Jaqueline ,Kristine and Murmur came up with using the sketch for this week

Easter Eggstravaganza

Hello how are you today? Have you been over on Cute Card Thursday blog to check out the new challenge? The DT has created some cards and projects using "Citrus Colors"... I don't know if you noticed my mistake i have made last week :-) i mixed weeks up and my card using Tilda chasing butterflies was actually made for today. So i was kind of clueless what to make Hot Pink, Yellow, Lime and Oranges are just not colors i feel secure with. Luckily Deb let me submit this little altered Chocolate box. This was done within one hour and if you do not count the chocolate, the cost of this project is about $1 for paper and that little string of ribbon.
I have gotten all stamps through Magnolia-liocus! I don't know if you have seen that Diana Crick also offers her very own "Collection kit" for an very good price for everybody! But wait there are some other fantastic news....

For members of MAGNOLIA-licious yahoo group only will be a discount code announced the first of each month. This will give you a certain discount on one rubber stamp of your choice. I will list the conditions if there are any for example "minimum order is 2 stamps". I will explain how to apply the discount when I announce what the discount will be.
